Alligation or Mixture problems
There are three bottles of mixture of syrup and water of ratios 2:3, 3:4 and 7:5. 10 Litres of first and 21 Litres of second bottles are taken. How much quantity from third bottle is to be taken so that final mixture from three bottles will be of ratios 1:1.
Ratio of milk andwater = 4:1 Quantity of water = 35/5 = 7 litres Quantity of milk = 35 X 4/5 = 28 litres If 7 litre of water is added, new quantity of water = 14 litre New ratio of milk and water = 28:14 = 2:1
The given solution has 75% milk.
Milk to be added has 100% milk.
Milk should be added to the given mixture in the ratio 15 : 10 or 3 : 2
